In an ideal location, the community is close to Patrick Air Force Base, shopping, Viera VA clinic, King Center for Performing Arts, Port Canaveral, and Eastern Florida State College.

What a Life, and a Bargain, too!

Sam G.- Verified Resident (Since 2015)

My wife and I have lived here for 4 years. No worry about security or "porch pirates" with our packages. You can be as involved and busy as you desire, or you can just sit back and watch the wildlife from your back door. Everything is well maintained. People are friendly and care about you; probably due to our military population. Homes are a bargain, even when you include the entrance fee, considering the super amenities and maintenance package. I got a new roof in 2018, for free! That would have cost me $20,000 in my previous house. Oh yes, and no State Income taxes, either.

Last Wednesday we became the owners of a fine new fridge with no shopping involved. The accompanying service was amazing. Miguel and Bruce took care of all food transfer and clean-up with smiles and good humor. Our maintenance people are true professionals who do outstanding work. Life is good at IRCC with so many caring, friendly people at all levels.

We love IRCC

Donald W- Verified Resident (Since March 2012)

We are retired military, Florida residents for nearly 28 years. Indian River Colony Club (IRCC), the “Place Patriots Call Home”, is the only place south of Gainesville we would chose to live. The camaraderie of a large number of military related residents coupled with numerous amenities make IRCC stand out above all others in the price range. You can spend a lot more money and not meet the overall excellence of IRCC.
Professional, caring, management and maintenance personnel coupled with round the clock security patrols provide a comfortable secure life style. A host of activities are provided for your enjoyment. The 18 hole golf course must be seen and played to be appreciated. You can spend a lot more money and not meet the overall excellence of IRCC. Indeed, this community is a shining jewel in the realm of 55+ communities.

Best Retirement Community in Suntree/Viera

Marjean H.- Verified Resident (Since March 2011)

In 2010 when my husband passed away I knew that I could not maintain our 2 acre property. I've lived in Brevard County since 1983 and most of my friends live in the Suntree/Viera area so that where I looked. Before arriving at IRCC, I had viewed at least 30 properties in the area. Although most were nice, none meet all of my needs. When I arrived at IRCC I knew this would be home. I haven't been disappointed. Lovely home, maintenance on call, landscaping, fitness center, art studio and classes, book club, yoga and much more. My time is filled with activities and people that I fully enjoy.

Friendliest Community in Brevard!

Carol W.- Verified Resident (Since 2011)

My husband and I have lived at IRCC for about five years. We are some of the youngest residents here, and in fact, are both still actively working. We were welcomed into this community, and the residents couldn't be friendlier! We have monthly block parties, and there are a billion things to do here, groups to join with fun activities, arts, hobbies, and sports to meet every interest. When I drive into IRCC, it is like a soothing balm to the soul and I am at peace. It is so peaceful, clean and scrupulously maintained. The wildlife is amazing - from Otters to Bald Eagles, it's all here. We absolutely love living at IRCC, and are eagerly awaiting retirement so we can join in more of the fun!

Active Community

Barb. G- Verified Resident (Since May 30, 2014)

IRCC enables you to get or remain active in close proximity to your home. Activities are only a short golf cart ride away. The close friendships you attain are quickly made and not long forgotten. IRCC is not made up of "old" people. It's made up of very active Senior citizens who delight in one another.

Both of the clubs are beautiful, the food is great, and the homes and grounds are kept in lovely condition.

Security, and free to be as involved in any of the wonderful activities going on.

Carole M.- Verified Resident (Since 2011)

I moved to IRCC in April of 2011 and am very grateful to my Realtor, Denise Contella. She was the one who took me to look in here because she thought I would fit right in!
She was so right. I had been recently widowed and one of my big concerns was my future and all the little things I could no longer without my husbands help. Here at IRCC I don't even have to worry when my toilet leaks, my dishwasher doesn't work right. One call and someone is there to try to fix the problem and if they can't you get a new one. The grounds are kept well maintained as are our homes.

Our maintenance program is like no other. I heard the sound of water running, but couldn't locate it for 2 days over the weekend. Mon. morning 9am I was looking at the plantings outside and suddenly was standing in water near the main. I called maintenance. They came right away, found a broken pipe at the main and had a back hoe in, dug up the pipe and repaired it and were done before noon. Price to me? Part of my maintenance. Who would you call? when would they come? What would they charge? It is part of truly maintenance free living at IRCC.

Although we don't play golf or tennis, IRCC is the ideal place for us. We have wonderful neighbors who watch our for each other and there are many other activities to keep us busy. Maintenance free living (someone else does it, not me) is a dream come true. Retired military with over 12 moves, we've finally found the place that we can call home.
